Background

About Jesse

Jesse Daley built his career in the heart of Hollywood, California, appearing in national television productions, feature films, voice-over projects, print campaigns, and commercial campaigns that reached audiences across the United States. A member of SAG-AFTRA, the American actors union, and Irish Equity in Ireland, Jesse is represented as an actor in both the United States and Ireland. His years in Los Angeles gave him a deep foundation in the craft of performance and on-camera work.

When life called him south to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Jesse brought that experience with him and found a new creative home. Today he serves as a weather reporter and writer for the VI Source, the Virgin Islands' trusted source for local news, where he helps manage the daily weather page and films weekly weather videos that keep island residents informed. He holds a Certificate in Weather Forecasting from Pennsylvania State University and a bachelor's degree in Behavioral Science from Concordia University Irvine.

Jesse has also built two YouTube channels: a personal channel featuring broader content across entertainment, creativity, singing, and motivation, and a dedicated weather channel focused on forecasts and weather updates. He is also a published author with three books spanning coming-of-age memoir, expat living guides, and international relocation. And through it all, he continues to act, sing, and perform, an artist at heart, wherever the work takes him.
